Rabbinic Interns
Rabbinic Interns
Under Rabbi Schlosberg's leadership, the GRJC is proud to welcome rabbinic interns to our community each year. We are delighted that this creates a strong connection between the GRJC and the Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS), a preeminent institution of higher Jewish learning in New York City where our interns study. Our rabbinic internship program also creates a win-win relationship: the GRJC benefits from the fresh perspectives offered by our interns and the intern benefits by learning in a synagogue atmosphere under the mentorship of an experienced rabbinic leader.
In the past, our interns have led services and programs such as our Mishpacha Minyan, Torah on Tap, Tot Shabbat, teen/youth programs and Shabbat services. Interns also have the opportunity to shadow the rabbi during lifecyle events such as b'nei mitzvah, baby namings and funerals/shiva minyanim and gain skills around communication, publicity, chaplaincy and community organizing.
Thank you to the Lapkin Foundation and JTS's Resnick internship program, sponsors of this program. We are proud of our rabbinic interns and know that they will continue to do great things for the Jewish people in the future.
